Clothing Swap & Pizza Night - Rotorua

Clothing swaps are a fun way to update your wardrobe without adding to the overflowing textile waste problem.

• Gather friends and up to 10 items each that you are ready to part with.

• Refreshments and a drink provided while we hang the items ready for a 7pm swap.

• You'll be issued a token for each garment supplied before paying for any 'new-to-you' items with your tokens.

• All garments must be in clean, wearable condition only. Women's, men's and children of any size.

When: 6.30pm, Thursday, November 20th

Where: Studio 2, The Arts Village, 1240 Hinemaru St, Rotorua 3010

Tickets: $5 per person, includes pizza. REGISTRATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL.

Please arrive at 6:30pm to allow us time to hang out your clothes before the clothes swap commences at 7:00pm. 

Pizza and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided whilst you mingle and wait for the clothes swap to begin.

What to bring:

- Bring a MAXIMUM of 10 garments. Please ensure the garments have NO STAINS, HOLES, and are in overall good condition. A good rule of thumb is to bring only things that you would be happy to receive yourself.

- We also ask that you please DON'T BRING garments from THE WAREHOUSE or KMART e.g. GARAGE and ANKO. We have found that people don't want them, meaning we end up with a pile of clothes from these brands after the clothes swap.

- Only bring garments you are ready to part with.

- Bring some gold coins incase you want to purchase additional garments after swapping.

How it works:

- You will get a token for each garment you have bought in to swap (10 MAXIMUM). 

- Each token can be used to 'purchase' a garment.

- If you use up all your tokens, you can purchase additional garments for a gold coin donation.
